"Coach" says that he is old enough to know better, but is still in coaching. He is a retired Latin teacher and Head Swim Coach from North Mecklenburg High School. His dad swam for Dartmouth and his mother still swims even though she is in her 80's. He went to Wake Forest University on a full swimming scholarship and then coached in Shelby, NC. He coached the UNCC 49ers swim team from 1984-1988 and won the Southeastern Invitational Meet at Emory (their championship meet). He coached at North Mecklenburg High School and won 18 consecutive conference championships and 2 state champsionships (He also won 1 state championship at Shelby High School, as well). His team NOMAD, which started in 1991 with only 8 swimmers, has over 250 swimmers today. NOMAD has won the Blue Ridge Championships 15 years in a row. His record is something unbelievable like 607 wins and only 82 losses. NOMAD is one of the first coach owned swim teams (swim teams are usually owned and run by parent groups) and the NOMAD facility is one of the only existing coach owned swimming facilities in NC.
